Get out and experience the beautiful scenery of West Auckland. This social group meets outside the main entrance to West Wave and then sets out for an active walk. Bring comfortable shoes and a drink bottle.
Some of our Learn to Swim schools offer a squad beyond Stroke for children who want to continue swimming to keep their fitness up, independently of a swimming club.
Please talk to your Learn to Swim team for more information.
OpenBOX is an opportunity to work on strength based movements with a Coach to refine your technique and ensure you’re activating the right muscles to move efficiently. Each session will focus on a specific lift but you have the freedom to pivot and work at your own pace to get stronger.

Generation 612 is a fitness, health and performance facility that was established at West Wave in 2015.
Using Functional movements at high intensity we aim to improve your strength and endurance. Our coaches will take you through a daily workout that combines Olympic weightlifting, Gymnastics, and metabolic conditioning.
Generation 612 is about the community and the bonds that are created with one another through a common goal of being active; aiming to make this the best hour of your day!
Foundations is three one-hour sessions with the aim of assessing and teaching the key movements that will be performed during 612 classes. Even if you have trained in a high intensity environment before, or have an Olympic weightlifting or gymnastics background, we still advise you complete our three one-on-one foundation sessions.
Foundations is included as part of your Generation 612 membership.
Open box is free time before class, where members of 612 can come in and practice any movement they wish (gymnastics or Olympic lifting) with the supervision and help of a coach.
$32.20 per week gives you unlimited access to all Generation 612 classes and open box, as well as to West Wave’s pools, gym, fitness classes, saunas and spas.
Generation 612 membership also provides access to all our Gold, Silver and Bronze centres!

Exciting news West Wave whānau! We'll have a production crew onsite filming in the lane pool and dive well on the above days and these areas won't be available for public use. Parking will be limited in both the West Wave and Falls carparks. You can still find parking nearby at 19 Alderman Drive or 14 Trading Place.
Good news - all other areas of the centre will remain open as usual.

Our Lane Pool ventilation upgrade is well underway. The upgraded ventilation system will help to regulate the temperature in the pool hall, providing a better space for pool users and an improved working environment for staff.

Check out the Our Auckland article for more information about our ventilation upgrade.
